Photo: Tut Move Designed to Save MummyThe body was moved on November 4, 2007, from an inner sarcophagus to the antechamber of Tut's tomb, located in the famed Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. While generating tourist revenue is one reason for the move, experts say the new case will also serve to protect a mummy so damaged by heat and humidity that it could otherwise have crumbled to dust in a few decades.
